Since this method is a bit complicated for most users, I decided to automate it. Another problem was that those links expire after some time, so if you haven’t viewed the video in Skype in the recent past, they won’t work. What people were doing was finding the URL using the sqlite browser, then downloading each file individually. Inside the file is a table called VideoMessage, which contains the URL for all received video messages. On OSX, the main database file is located under ~/Library/Application Support/Skype/skype_username/main.db It turns out that Skype uses a sqlite database to save messages and other information. I also saw many people suggesting an SQLite browser add-on for firefox. (That way you can watch them while offline, back them up for later, or whatever else you might want to do.)Īfter searching around the web for a while, I realized that there is no such feature at the moment. Someone asked me if I knew of a way to export them from Skype. A few days ago, I found out that you can send video messages to people via Skype.
